Select file/print/print preview and ensure the coding stripes tick box remains checked.

This will remove nodes that are not coded against the chosen transcript from the display and optimise the space on the left pane. You will notice that some nodes/codes are represented in bold whilst others are not.

Browse to the group of codes you wish to display.

Switch on the coding stripes and choose the вЂselected itemsвЂ™ option.

If you think so, have a look at a sample copy of a couple of pages from one of my own projects done like this. Personally, I think itвЂ™s worth the trouble for a good appendix but some people may not agree.

The problem is getting an electronic copy is a bit convoluted. Probably the easiest option is to use screenshots although I wouldnвЂ™t be fan of screenshots as appendices myself. However, what happens if you want to send this report electronically? You canвЂ™t :(. Then, having set your printer to print two pages at a time, you get something similar to our image. So you open your transcript, go to print preview and you will see your coding stripes displayed on every second page. You have a printer that can print вЂњ2 upвЂќ.If you have very densely coded transcripts then you canвЂ™t print the stripes beside theВ textВ because in print preview in NVivo, you will have a page of text followed by two pages of coding stripes making it impossible to display as demonstrated in our image. You can fit the coding stripes you wish to display on a single page.The current situation is that you can print the coding stripes provided:

One should not need training to get such basic information out of NVivo.

I really hope this proves to be the case because we spend a lot of time addressing this issue in the training workshops when really itвЂ™s a software design issue. We are promised a report to make this possible and EASY with the release of NVivo 10 scheduled for June, 2012. Printing coding stripes from NVivo 7, 8, 9 or 10 has long since been a source of complaint from users of this website.
